ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES AS A MEANS OF IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION STUDENTS

Abstract

Recently, additive technologies have been actively introduced into various spheres of modern
life. The paper highlights the need to develop students’ innovative thinking and shows how additive
technologies can be used for that. It considers the possibilities for using additive technologies in
teaching Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics courses for the Architecture and Construction
students at M.T. Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University. The paper also presents
models printed with the use of FDM printer at the Department of Engineering Graphics and Advertising
Technology, which contribute to increasing the visualization of the course content and developing
students’ spatial thinking. Computer-aided design systems (KOMPAS-3D, SolidWorks) were
used to develop three-dimensional models.
